1393.The end of the halfway journey(1/2)

After winning nine consecutive games, the Hawks only had one day of rest. On the 6th and 7th, the last two games of five consecutive home games came, playing the Pacers and Grizzlies back-to-back.

The Hawks have entered a real period of fatigue. The players spend more time doing physical therapy than in the past few years. There are no two players like Josh Smith and Iguodala who can be trained as the absolute core in other teams.

With their young players, the Eagles do not have the ability to rest this season.

At the peak of the round, Liu Mang felt that Rondo and Granger would not be worse than Iguodala, but in the early stage, these two people really couldn't compare to Iguodala and Josh Smith.

Moreover, we have now lost two generals, Korver and Prince.

But the Pacers really don't want to win at all. If the Bucks and Celtics weren't so bad, they really want to finish last in the Eastern Conference.

Just when the Hawks were playing the Hornets, the Pacers and the Warriors reached a deal, and a new captain arrived in Oakland. The Pacers only received a lottery-protected 2007 first-round pick, and gave away Stephen Jackson, the league's first-tier small forward.

Here comes the Warriors.

In fact, the Birds can send Stephen Jackson anywhere, at least in exchange for a high first-round pick, but Nelson still has a wide range of contacts. After Nelson promised to make the playoffs, the Birds

Sending Stephen Jackson over helped the Warriors improve their lineup.

As for the Pacers... they only have O'Neal Jr. who hasn't been sold yet.

O'Neal Jr. averaged just 20 points and 10 rebounds per game this season, and also averaged a very impressive 2.9 blocks per game. At the age of 29, he is still in his theoretical peak period.

But the Pacers no longer want him and have been selling him, but the return the Birds want is too high and they can't trade him.

After all, this is the Pacers' only top star.

After a day off on the 5th, the Eagles faced off against the Pacers on the 6th.

It's not a big problem. The Pacers have no desire to win at all. With only 15 wins and 38 losses, they already don't want to think about it that much.

109 to 99, the Hawks easily defeated the Pacers and won the team's first 10 consecutive victories this season.

In addition to the Hawks, 4 teams have won at least 10 consecutive victories this season, namely the Mavericks' 14-game winning streak, the Bulls' 12-game winning streak, the Cavaliers' 11-game winning streak, the Suns' 10-game winning streak, and the Eagles.

Became the fifth team to win 10 consecutive games this season.

But in the game against the Pacers, the Hawks clearly showed a sense of fatigue. Rondo and Gortat, both of them encountered such a terrifying schedule in January and February in their rookie seasons, and they seem to have entered the rookie wall recently.

The feeling is mainly due to the influence of fatigue. Even Battier and Marion, two Mesozoic players, can't stand facing such a brutal schedule of the Hawks recently.

Thinking about the past three years, the Eagles have played this schedule, and won at least 68 games in each season... The two of them can understand why they have a record of 36 wins and 15 losses this season, but fans criticized them.

Their record is poor...

Finally, on February 7th, in the last game of this latest wave of 7 games in 9 days, against the Grizzlies, the Eagles were upset.

Against the Grizzlies led by Caron Butler, even Liu Mang scored 31 points in the first half, but his shooting collapsed in the second half.

It's not that Liu Mang's physical fitness was affected, but that his teammates couldn't make long-range shots. The Grizzlies started to defend the basket inside in the second half, and frantically attacked Liu Mang from the outside. Liu Mang made 12 of 17 shots in the first half, which was extremely efficient.

to 31 points, but only made 5 of 18 in the second half.

If you want to score high points, your teammates must have enough restraint.

Liu Mang made 17 of 35 shots from the field. His overall shooting percentage looked pretty good. He scored 47 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists. He scored 40 points for the 16th time this season, ranking first in the league, but he once again became the leader of the empty-cutting group.

, the Hawks lost their 10-game winning streak to the Grizzlies 93-101.



Blue sky and white clouds, clear sky...

Liu Mang looked at the clouds outside the airplane window and muttered: "Oh my god..."

Just finished 7 games in 9 days, on the morning of the 8th, the Eagles had to make a long journey to Oklahoma City. On the 9th, 11th, and 13th, they had 3 games in 5 days again, and they were three consecutive visitors.

The key is whether to play the Bulls in the last game... or away from home...

Looking at this schedule, Liu Mang has never looked forward to the All-Star Weekend so much.

Seeing the schedule, Liu Mang could only sigh: "Oh... forget it, let's beat CP3 first to ease my unhappy mood."

Liu Mang saw the hard work of his teammates. They had won ten consecutive games and no one wanted to lose.

But it's true that he can't keep up with his steps. Caron Butler can rush in and dunk, so what else can Liu Mang do?

I definitely can’t blame my teammates, nor can I blame me for playing so well in the past three years and winning championships every year.

"I've won too many championships, it's so lonely!" Liu Mang couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

On the plane, this is really like looking up to the sky and sighing.

Maddie, who was sitting next to Liu Mang, watched Liu Mang start to have convulsions again. He didn't know what he was talking about, so he rolled his eyes and closed his eyes to sleep.

Behind Liu Mang, Gortat, who was carefully holding the water glass for Liu Mang, felt that his boss might need to see a doctor...



With 14 wins and 39 losses, Liu Mang is very satisfied with the Hornets' record. They are second to last in the Western Conference, second only to the Timberwolves.

With such a record, it is very possible to get the top three picks.

Paul only played 30 games this season. He was injured and stopped, which was quite miserable. Paul missed the game again this time.

But for Liu Mang, when the team is in a period of fatigue, encountering the Hornets, one of the top three teams in the league, is the same as having someone give him a pillow when he wants to sleep...

Beating the Hornets was even easier than the Pacers. There was no need to consider tactics at all. Liu Mang just threw the ball after receiving it.

He played for 41 minutes and made 17 of 37 shots, including 7 of 20 three-pointers and 9 of 11 free throws. Liu Mang easily scored 50 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks. The data helped the Eagles win.

Easily defeated the Hornets 122-105, improving the record to 37 wins and 16 losses.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Paul complained to Liu Mang after the game: "Boss Ace, I really want to return to New Orleans. There is a problem in this city. After I came here

Always unlucky..."

Liu Mang responded this way: "Chris, you have to be patient. When you select Durant in the summer, your good days will come."

Chris Paul, who was new to the world, saw that Liu Mang praised the big pitcher so much, and he also started to look forward to it: "Boss Ace's vision is not wrong. He wanted us to win over Stojakovic and Chandler last year.

, now these two are playing so well in the Cavaliers..."



On February 10th, it was already mid-February, spring was coming, and everything was recovering...but it was still freezing and snowy in Toronto, and there seemed to be a feeling of "late spring cold".

It's already cold in Toronto, but basketball fans here feel like another cold wave is coming.

Ace Liu is here again!

"No, I'm not afraid at all... I'm not surprised by what kind of performance Ace can perform. Since I entered the NBA, he has been the strongest player in the world. My opponent is Kwame, not Ace."

Si..." When Milicic was interviewed, he seemed to have accepted the fact that he had been abused by Liu Mang...

In general, Milicic's heart is still very fragile. It is only because the Raptors have been caring carefully that he can gradually grow to where he is now.

People with weak hearts often accept their fate easily. Milicic is like this. He no longer has any expectations of defeating Liu Mang.

Every time I thought I had a chance, the result was worse than the last time.

In this case, Milicic thought it would be better not to look forward to it.

Milicic is the absolute core of the Raptors and the boss of the team, but... he is not suitable to be the boss at all.

Richard Jefferson and contemporary Jordan also don't have the temperament of a boss, and they are not even as strong as Milicic's domineering degree in the paint.

When Milicic said such words, Raptors fans felt his despair, let alone his teammates.

On February 11, the Eagles came to the Canada Flight Center Arena for the second game of three consecutive away games to challenge the Raptors away from home.

Speaking of this game, the Eagles did not play much better than the previous games against the Grizzlies and Hornets. They were in a very bad state, but the Raptors were in even worse state!

The Raptors were in a collective downturn, and the Eagles were also in a downturn. The two teams contributed a feast of iron...

Liu Mang's touch was average today and he was attacked by the Raptors. But just like that, the rest of the Eagles couldn't make any shots and kept hitting the ball.

But the Eagles are already like this, and the Raptors are even more striking...

The Eagles only scored 89 points, but the Raptors only scored 81 points. Liu Mang scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Tracy McGrady scored 13 points and 6 assists. Marion scored 20 points. The Eagles were like this.

The three of them scored in double figures, but the highest score was only 20, but they won in the end...

After the game, the domestic media headlined the game as "Rookies peck each other, old chicken wins."

Although the title was derogatory, when Liu Mang saw the news, he felt it was so appropriate...





"Stern finally did what a man should do!" Liu Mang sighed.

"Ace, don't go out and say this nonsense, otherwise the old man will find out and he will definitely target you." Shane warned.

"Yes, yes, I know, Mr. President." Liu Mang joked.

Before the All-Star Weekend this season, the Eagles had 55 games, which was similar to other teams. Most teams played 53 to 55 games before the All-Star Weekend. After a brutal 17 games in a single month in January, February

After a brutal schedule of seven games in the first 13 days, the Eagles have already caught up with other teams in terms of games played.

38 wins and 16 losses. Finally, relying on the recent record of 12 wins and 1 loss, the Eagles have improved their record and have the possibility of hitting 55 wins or even 60 wins.

Liu Mang looked at his average data of 32.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.3 steals per game, as well as his current record, and he felt very happy.
